Rees Electric Guitars does a lot of work making souped up Stratocaster style guitars with a wide load of pickup selection options, and after some trial and error, they have applied their flexible touch to the Telecaster with the Rees T3. The T3 can achieve vintage Tele tone while knocking things up a notch for beefy humbucking madness.

The T3 features a solid korina body with a figured maple front-plate, a sustain-friendly wrap-around bridge and Seymour Duncan vintage telecaster compatible pickups. The bread and butter of the T3, though, is the Vintage Tele / Humbucker / Phased-Coil switch which opens up very diverse tonal options.

Getting into more detail, when switched to the Vintage Telecaster compatible option, the middle pickup is disabled. The neck, bridge or a combination of the two creates a 1950s style Telecaster tone. If that's all you need in a guitar, get a Telecaster.

Otherwise, you can switch to the second setting: Phased Coils. This adds the middle pickup to the equation out-of-phase to the other pickups to create some interesting special effects.

Finally, when switched to the Humbucker setting, the middle pickup is added in serial to the other two pickups. It transforms the T3 guitar into a Telecaster on the juice.
